I still remember not really knowing what to expect — whether anyone would come, whether the idea of a proper pathway for machine knitters, from complete beginner to confident maker, would actually mean something to people beyond me. Turns out it did. In three months I've watched people knit their first rows on a machine they'd been scared of for years. I've watched people come back to a craft they'd put down and forgotten how much they loved. I've had conversations with members about problems I've spent decades solving, and had the genuine pleasure of watching that knowledge actually land and help someone. It hasn't all been smooth — building something like this on your own means every module, every video, every resource is built in the gaps of everything else, and there have been plenty of days I've wondered if it's making a difference. But then someone shares a finished piece they never thought they'd be able to make, and I remember exactly why I'm doing this. We've grown and changed a lot in three months, and there's a lot more coming. But today isn't about what's next — it's just a thank you. To everyone who's shown up, shared their wins and their stuck moments, and trusted me to help them along the way. This is only the beginning. 🧶

Meet @Gayle Lunau Sherman, one of our MkH members who started as a complete beginner and despite not having the correct accessories for the machine she's been loaned and the machine itself not in a pristine condition Gayle knitted her first rows. Gayle almost gave up on their machine before reaching out, the wrong tension mast for the machine was playing havoc with her stitches! We spent some One-2-One time going through the basics, and now look at this! It's a win ❤️ Gayle could have easily packed it all away, but she didn't — and we couldn't be prouder. This is just the start for Gayle! This is exactly why we do what we do. Every "I can't do this" can become an "I made this." If Gayle's story sounds familiar, you're in the right place. 💛 Tag a fellow maker who needs to see this, or share your own progress below — we'd love to celebrate you too.

Most people arrive here stuck at the same point they've been stuck at for longer than they'd like to admit. Some haven't even got a machine yet. Either way — you're exactly who this is for. Just tell me which one you are today: **1.** No machine yet — still working out what to buy **2.** Got one. Still in the box, or under the bed **3.** Got one, had a go, it beat me **4.** Knitting away happily — and I'm here to help the rest of you That's the whole ask. A number and your machine, if you've got one. "3 — Brother 881, under the spare bed since 2019" is a perfect answer. If you're a 4: I especially want you here. This place doesn't work without you. ✨ I reply to every single one.
